It is a bit of a roller coaster ride, mostly my own fault for pushing too hard.
When I have a bad few days I am on Nozinan.
This is a palliative care medicine, very powerful., normally used in terminal care.
It is very effective in dealing with the type of severe pain I have.
The reason I have sorted everything is that both mine are abroad and Guy is ill.
I want no stress for him at all.
A house clearance is not the way to go.
I have some quality stuff, better the kids have the money.
I am relaxed about it.

I have no intention of creaking Art.
I have a target, I will be across to see Guy in Taiwan before Christmas and combine it with stop offs in Myanmar, Cambodia and the Philippines.

It's just that Ms d00d & I own our house and nothing more (much). We have no Will because, which ever one of us goes first, the survivor will automatically own the house, and can then decide what happens to it. If we both go together (like a plane crash!) we don't care what happens to it.

palliative care medication?
I'm sure you won't have any travel insurance .............and
will most likely be breaking all the rules whilst on that heavy
duty medication!
You must have gone down pretty fast Swimmy - so sorry for
you!
.............Still.............enjoy your trip!

Yes I have.
I have a life threatening condition due to blast damage to my skull 30 years ago.
I am now completely blind in my right eye and have holes in my ear to let the pressure out from an infection in my skull.
I am on so much medication that I am irrational from time to time.
I cannot have an MRI Scan to determine exactly where the problem is, as I have too much metal shrapnel, so reliant on CT Scans.
I will not be beaten, that is not me.
A difficult time for sure, but I will win.
I have a great zest for life and I am determined to have many years left.

Keep the mind busy & taking it One day at a time as they say,
and when 'today' is a good day have a cheeky hope for a better one tomorrow !
Half a positive Attitude will win....some of the time anyway xx
